Office2003 to OfficeXP

[Weng88]

Hi, I am planing to write some WORD templates for a client using VB.NET 2003
and Office2003. When the development is completed, I would like to deploy the
templates to OfficeXP environment (backward compatibility).

In short....
DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
1. WindowsXP Professional
2. VS.NET 2003 with Office2003 Add-in
3. Office2003

DEPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENT
1. Windows2000
2. WindowsXP
3. OfficeXP standard edition

Is this possible? Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers
WN

Why use VB .NET?
VBA is the macro language in Office.

Sounds like a death wish. The accepted approach (for least heartache) is to develop
on the lesser platform, and deploy up.
